Managing the budget to ensure the citizens of Lehigh County are receiving the best services at a reasonable cost that holds the line on taxes. I would do that by holding department heads responsible for the delivery of those services as well as adhering to their respective budgets.

My near 40 year career in Lehigh County as a business professional makes me uniquely qualified to deal with financial challenges facing the county. Budget projections indicate the rainy day fund balance will be exhausted in the near future and I will use my business experience to make the tough cost cutting decisions necessary.
